For this year's Nutrition section of Current Opinion in Gastroenterology, I selected topics which have attracted most interest over the past year and are likely to have the greatest impact on clinical nutrition, namely the urgency and timing for nutritional support in hospitalized patients (Todd Rice), the value of nutritional supplementation in patients with liver disease (Ron Koretz), the development of gut peptide analogues to 'superadapt' the residual bowel in patients with massive intestinal loss (Palle Jeppeson), and finally the role of the human microbiota and its metabolites in human disease (Erwin Zoetendal and James Kinross).
It has always been assumed that nutritional support will help the recovery of any hospitalized patient who is unable to eat. Prior to the 1970s, critically ill patients lost weight progressively until they either died, or recovered and were able to eat again. Then came the development of intravenous feeding, termed at the time 'hyperalimentation' or 'total parenteral nutrition' (TPN). For the first time, this meant that full nutritional support could be given to any patient, no matter how sick, and it was embraced as part of the routine care of any sick patient who was unable to eat. Over the following decade of experience, clinicians became increasingly concerned about the complications that accompanied TPN, namely catheter-related sepsis, hyperglycaemia, and central vein thrombosis. This finally prompted the conduct of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to assess benefit. The most significant of these was the VA Cooperative study of perioperative TPN which showed quite clearly that the conventional use of perioperative followed by postoperative intravenous feeding was not only expensive but also increased infectious complications [1]. Post-hoc analysis, however, suggested that there might have been some benefit if patients were initially malnourished.
It was assumed that the complications of TPN were outweighing the benefits of nutritional support, and so great effort was then expended in the development of interventional enteral (tube) feeding techniques that restored gut function. It was shown that most of the feeding problems in the critically ill were related to upper gastrointestinal dysfunction, in particular, poor gastric emptying, such that if a feeding tube was placed below the pylorus, enteral feeding could provide full nutritional requirements, obviating the need for TPN. Comparative studies showed clearly that enteral feeding was superior to parenteral nutrition with regard to infectious complications and cost, leading to a swing to enteral feeding. Studies then emerged that showed the problem with enteral feeding was that it was difficult to ramp the rates up to 'goal' within the first week, leading to the development of an 'energy gap'. Uncontrolled studies found that the magnitude of the energy gap was related to long-term mortality, leading to the practice of bi-modal nutritional support where early enteral feeding was 'topped up' with parenteral nutrition until goal enteral feeding rates were achieved [2].
For many years now, Koretz [3] has been like a voice crying in the wilderness for the conduct of adequately powered and properly designed RCTs to prove that nutritional support is better than no support at all – bearing in mind that both parenteral and enteral feeding are interventional procedures and have their own set of complications. Many ignored his call, stating that it was obvious that forced feeding would improve the rate of recovery and hospital outcome, as healing requires a profuse supply of nutrients, and claimed that failure to feed a starving patient was unethical.
For the first time, two such large, well designed RCT feeding studies were recently conducted and the results were published. Rice has reviewed these in his accompanying article. The first was a randomized multi-centre clinical trial on 4640 ICU patients, which examined the question of 'topping up' early enteral feeding with parenteral nutrition during the first week, which is the current guideline of the European Society of Enteral and Parenteral Nutrition, versus waiting a week and then only 'topping up' if enteral nutrition has not met its goals. Contrary to expectation, the late parenteral nutrition group did better. The second study was conducted by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) Clinical Trials Network, and published with Rice as first author. In this, the consortium randomized 1000 ICU patients with respiratory failure to early 'trophic feeding' (i.e. 10 ml/h within 48 h) for the first week followed by an advance to goal rates thereafter, versus early 'full' enteral feeding (25 ml/h with an increase every 6 h until full caloric needs were met). Again, the more aggressive form of feeding offered no survival benefit and was associated with more gastrointestinal complications. Rice concludes from these studies that early enteral feeding should be recommended for ventilated patients, and parenteral nutrition should not be used to prevent the energy gap in the first week. Whilst this conclusion may well prove to be correct, given that early 'trophic' feeding preserves gut function and reduces inflammatory responses [4,5], we still do not know whether early trophic feeding in the first week is better than no feeding, particularly given the fact that most hospitalized patients in the US today are overweight and have more than adequate body stores of energy and protein that would last them for weeks.
The liver is often considered the 'heart of metabolism'. Consequently, it is reasonable to expect that patients with liver disease will more rapidly develop nutritional problems, and that nutritional support or supplementation would improve recovery. Indeed, the high incidence of malnutrition in patients with liver disease was recently highlighted by a review by Cheung et al.[6], which included recommendations on how it could be treated or prevented. However, as Koretz notes in his review, 'it cannot be emphasized too strongly that association does not infer causation, so it cannot be assumed that improving nutritional status improves clinical outcome'. To test this concern, Koretz et al.[7] have recently published a meta-analysis in Cochrane Reviews where they identified 37 eligible RCTs comparing enteral, parenteral, or oral supplemental feeding to no feeding in patients with a variety of liver diseases, ranging from chronic liver disease to liver transplantation. In his current review, he has identified three more eligible studies, which have not substantially changed his conclusions that 'the data do not compellingly justify the routine use of parenteral nutrition, enteral nutrition, or oral nutritional supplements in patients with liver disease'.
For nutritionists, this is all very depressing, but it should not be. What our bodies are trying to tell us is that they only need support when stores begin to run out. We have evolved over millions of years to survive acute injury without nutrition support; we have body stores that cover these events. No one can doubt that a critically ill patient will need supplementation with fluids and electrolytes within 48 h as part of initial resuscitation, but protein and energy (fat) stores can last weeks. Thus Koretz' conclusion should probably be modified to include 'in the absence of documented nutrient deficiency'. This raises another problem, how do we measure nutrient deficiency? With fluid, electrolytes and minerals we can measure blood levels, but we still do not know how low body protein and energy stores have to drop before they affect vital organ function and wound healing. Studies we have performed detected abnormalities in digestive function in a group of patients with an average BMI of 13.5 kg/m2[8], which is well below the lower limit of normal range of 18.5, leading us to suggest that in the absence of oedema, any patient with a BMI less than 17 deserves nutritional support. The bottom line is that we must first prove there is a deficiency before using an intervention that has inherent complications, as outcome can only be worsened.
One field where nutritional support is life-saving is the intestinal failure that accompanies massive intestinal loss. Here, RCTs are not needed to show survival benefit as we know that in the days before TPN these patients became progressively more malnourished and died. However, home parenteral nutrition (HPN) on which these patients depend is associated with all the complications of parenteral nutrition mentioned above, and the inconveniences of nightly cycles of intravenous infusions of fluid, electrolytes, protein, energy, vitamins and trace elements, and high stomal excretions and often uncontrollable diarrhoea, resulting in difficulties in social interactions and poor quality of life [9]. Small bowel transplantation is the only therapy that predictably removes the need for HPN and restores normal eating, digestion and absorption – but at a price in terms of operative and immunosuppression-associated morbidity and mortality. Jeppesen in his accompanying article reviews the latest developments in new forms of pharmacological treatment, including the use of gut peptide derivatives that may increase absorption by the remaining intestine, termed 'superadaptation'. Teduglutide is a protease-resistant analogue of the ileal brake peptide glucagon-like peptide 2, which has been shown to have remarkable effects on villus growth and absorption in experimental and now human studies, with significant reductions in the need for parenteral nutrition supplementation shown by two multi-centre multinational RCTs discussed in detail by Jeppesen. On the basis of these results, the US Food and Drug Administration has recently approved teduglutide's use for the management of intestinal failure due to massive intestinal loss. However, the drug only allows a small proportion of these patients to come off HPN completely, and follow-up studies are now needed to see whether the reductions in parenteral nutrition requirements translate into improved quality of life.
Perhaps the hottest topic in nutrition and gastroenterology today is the previously unrecognized importance of the human microbiota in bodily health. The two reviews – one by Zoetendal on the microbiota, and the other by Kinross on its metabolome – provide state-of-art summaries on the key role played by the microbiota in a widening variety of diseases, which include the 'westernized diseases', obesity, the metabolic syndrome, atherosclerosis, diabetes and colon cancer – whose emergence has been considered the most serious threat to public health in the US today. The size and the metabolic activity of the microbiota justify the claim that it should be considered one of our own organs with its own intrinsic metabolic needs and functions which are essential to those of the rest of the body. On the basis of the accumulating evidence from human studies that diet has a powerful influence on the microbiota to produce a vast array of bioactive molecules within the body, Kinross argues that 'dietary modification of the microbiota may challenge the notion that our genetic make-up is the most important explanation for heterogeneous metabolic response to a homogenous diet'. To date, very little attention has been paid to examining the role of the microbiota, let alone its nutritional requirements, in sickness. In a normal diet, dietary fibre provides most of its nutritional needs and current recommendations suggest that a healthy diet should contain at least 35 g/day. Early studies showed that the composition of conventional enteral feeds is lacking in sufficient dietary residue to support a healthy microbiota, with 0–5 g fibre/l, and that the combined use of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and antibiotics with these diets was associated with gross suppression of the microbiota and dysbiosis [10]. Suppression of the microbiota deprives the colon of its preferred 'food' supply and epithelial proliferative regulator, butyrate, a short-chain fatty acid that is produced by microbiota fermentation of dietary fibre. Dysbiosis also places patients at high risk of developing overgrowth with Clostridium difficile organisms and subsequent development of colitis, a condition with high morbidity in the infirm and critically ill that is difficult to treat and tends to recur [11]. Whereas specific antibiotics such as vancomycin and fidaxomicin are effective treatments [12], they worsen dysbiosis, increasing the risk of recurrence. Clearly, the goal with any treatment should be to remove the initiating factor, but it is often difficult to remove antibiotics and PPIs from critically ill patients. An alternative is to restore the microbiota with a 'transplant' from a healthy donor. This has proved remarkably successful as discussed by Zoetendal, whose group recently published the results of the first RCT on the subject [13]. C. difficile clearance at 10 weeks was significantly higher (81%) in the faecal-transplant group compared to either of the control groups (21–33%) at the interim analysis, and so the study was terminated. However, it is important to note that the group of patients with the highest mortality associated with C. difficile, unstable ICU patients and those needing antibiotics [11], were excluded, and so further studies are needed to determine whether transplants can endure and thus reduce hospital morbidity and mortality.

University funding cuts cause severe indigestion for government (SMH 14.7.14)
Crossbench senators with an ear to popular opinion could become even less co-operative when university cuts come before them, with new polling showing the Coalition's changes are poison in voter-land.
Extensive automated phone polling across 23 federal electorates taking in all states has found cuts in federal funding and changes to allow increased fees, higher loan charges, and access to limited federal funding by non-university course providers, have not gone over well with households.
Sixty-nine per cent of those polled said they opposed "significant increases in fees" and 65 per cent said they opposed a 20 per cent funding -

How to bring Country Charm to your City Home
Posted Apr 30th 2014 | By:
0 Comments
If you have always dreamed of living in a country cottage but love urban living here are some charming design details from a London Interior Designer, Caroline Harrowby, that you can use to add to your for some country charm. The important thing to remember is a touch of country goes a long way when living in an urban home.
Kitchens are always a perfect room to introduce a rustic feeling. Look at details such as roughhewn wide plank floors; islands featuring reclaimed wood and butcher block worktops. You can also add cast iron doorknobs or even porcelain pulls. Wooden cupboards are a must for the country kitchen and you can look for antique finds such as wooden buffet side tables and bread cupboards for additional storage in softer woods with plenty of knots and natural finishes. If your home can stand it you can add some plaster finish to the walls or even timber beams, but this might look a little out of place if your home has modern architecture.
Less Dark Wood
When looking for furniture opt for reclaimed wood, oak or knotty pine. These tend to have more of a country feel. As well, you can add painted furniture in milk paint blue, white or yellow with a distressed look. When using these finishes you can create a jumping off point for walls and fabrics.
Redo your fireplace fronts using antique worn tile or add a basic piece of timber for a mantle. Add cast iron tools and grates for a more rustic look as well. Use farm discoveries on the mantle such as copper vases and hurricane lamps and place a large copper Guernsey can on the floor. Use an old wooden carton or birch basket to store twigs and firewood.
French toile is a classic way to add country charm. You can add a more modern feel using black and white or a softer feel in yellows or pale blues. Plaids and checks are also traditionally more country but might seem a little clich. Delft and rose patterns can be used on cushions or curtains. You can also seek out clever fabric designs that mimic old flour bags, burlap or even bare branched trees or birds. These add whimsy and charm.
Seek out artwork that has country landscapes in white or wood frames. Botanicals and other nature paintings look nice as well. You may also find charming portraits of farm girls or paintings of people at work in the fields. You can add a more modern touch with black and white photos of country images for an edgier, modern country feel.
Flooring and Walls
Add some country flooring with wide planked timber or white painted wood. You can also look for natural materials in carpets such as wool, sisal or grass for area rugs or running up the stairs. Beadboard and plaster can add texture and a cozy feeling to walls.
Any or all of these touches will bring country charm to your urban or suburban homes.

There are two things that everyone needs before stepping out onto the range — eyes and ears. Over the years I've amassed quite the collection of shooting glasses. Everything from the standard run of the mill plastic to the specs with anti-fog polarized lenses.
When it comes to hearing protection, however, I've always stuck with what ever the range had to offer. Sometimes that meant ear muffs and sometimes that meant foam. After being prodded by a colleague, I decided it was time for a more permanent solution.
Earinc/Insta-Mold was one of the many vendors onsite at the Great American Outdoor Hunting and Outdoor Show. Fresh off a week at SHOT Show where they produced more than five hundred sets of hearing protection onsite for patrons, they were more than happy to provide that solution for me there in Frederick, Maryland.
I'll be taking my new custom fit ears out for their first spin this weekend at the Skip J Range in Anderson, South Carolina. But before that happens, I'll take you through the process, step by step, of what it takes to get your own set of Insta-Mold ears.
And if you're wondering what that little ball is on the left hand side of the picture, that's the left over silicone mold. Hearing protection and a custom made super ball too ... how's that for a deal?

U.K. house prices fell in February, erasing a gain the previous month, according to Halifax, which said the economic outlook may damp property demand this year.
Prices fell 0.9 percent from January, when they rose 0.8 percent, the mortgage unit of Lloyds Banking Group Plc (LLOY) said in a statement in London today. The average value of a home last month was 162,657 pounds ($264,431) and the lender sees prices falling 2 percent this year.
The U.K. economy shrank 0.6 percent in the fourth quarter, raising concerns among consumers about the sustainability of the recovery. Household confidence stayed close to the lowest since March 2009 last month. At the same time, banks are curbing lending, with mortgage approvals remaining at half the level seen at the peak of the housing boom in 2007.
"Uncertainty over the economic outlook is likely to weigh down on housing demand," Martin Ellis, a Halifax economist, said in the statement. Still, "fewer properties have been coming onto the market. This trend, if sustained, should improve the balance between demand and supply and help to prevent a more significant fall in house prices."
In the three months through February, prices fell 2.8 percent compared with the same period a year earlier, according to the Halifax index. That's the biggest year-on-year decline in 16 months.
The pound fell 0.2 percent against the dollar and traded at $1.6241 as of 9:49 a.m. in London.
Interest Rates
Recent U.K. house-price data has been mixed. While Hometrack Ltd. said this week that values fell 0.2 percent in February, an eighth consecutive decline, a separate report from Nationwide Building Society showed that prices increased 0.3 percent last month.
Bank of England Governor Mervyn King said this week that the U.K. housing market faces a greater threat from developments in the global economy than from domestic factors. In the neighbouring euro area, leaders are trying to find a solution to the region's sovereign-debt crisis, while turmoil in Libya has pushed up oil prices to $100 a barrel, squeezing households.
Policy makers left the benchmark interest rate unchanged at a record low of 0.5 percent last month and kept their emergency bond purchase plan at 200 billion pounds. Three of the bank's officials voted to increase the key rate to cool inflation that's accelerated to twice its target.
Credit Agricole SA economists revised their U.K. rate forecast today and now see borrowing costs increasing in May rather than November.
While the bank will increase the rate to 1.25 percent this year from 0.5 percent, the "fragile consumer situation is likely to prevent the BOE from raising rates too sharply," said Slavena Nazarova, an economist at Credit Agricole in Paris.

Brett Wheeler Scores Hard Earned Victory on Make-A-Wish Night
Mike Billado, Alan Maynard, and Jennifer Getty Victorius
Brett Wheeler outlasted Joey Becker in a side-by-side duel of front row occupants that went on for the full 50 laps of the Make-A-Wish Late Model main event Thursday at Thunder Road.
Wheeler had to command the outside lane to land his 2nd win of the season in the Spherion Chevy No. 1. Becker led the first 16 laps as well as laps 26-30 and 32-36.
Neither Wheeler nor Becker could have survived a misstep as 16 year-old Emily Packard arrived at their spoilers on lap 36. Packard got a wheel ahead of Becker as the trio encountered a lapped car, but Becker hung tough for runner-up honors.
Scott Payea was a close 4th, three car-lengths ahead of point leader Derrick O'Donnell. Nick Sweet, Cody Blake and Eric Chase were next in line.
"It was a lot of fun racing with Joey like that," Wheeler said.

Hi. I saw these growing in a neighbor's yard and asked if I could have a cutting. I received several cuttings and put them in a paper bag a short time ago. Is it a cactus or a succulent? I've seen them in green and I've seen them in red. If they are red, does that mean they are in too much sun? How are they used in a landscape or garden? I don't want something that will be overly aggressive - especially since they are very sharp! Looking at the picture, though, they do seem like they spread like wildfire. Oh, what to do? Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
It looks like aloe nobilis. It is a fairly slow growing succulent that produces a bright orange - red flower spike when it blooms. It can be grown in a container or in the ground. The sun does affect their color - red is like a sunburn, although I don't know if it is harmful. These aloes require little care. They are low-water use plants and get few diseases or pests unless they are overwatered. |
Here is a link that might be useful: succulents in containers
The flowers attract hummingbirds, the plant is not and never will be invasive. Give good drainage and water lightly to moderately in summer and fall--they get along fine on rain in winter/spring. The red indicates a little stress, not a problem, it is one of the beauties of the plant. Great intro to a beautiful genus, enjoy! |

Great plant! |
- Posted by hostarasta z9 (My Page) on Thu, May 9, 13 at 14:39
What I forgot to mention is that my neighbor did not include any roots with the cuttings. She just cut them with a sharp knife. They've been on my front porch for two days - can I just stick them in the ground? Or do I have to root first? |
If it is not a scalding hot spot and the soil is nice and loose (fluffy), they can root pretty quickly in mild temperatures. If it's too hot they'll go dormant for the summer and not try to root themselves until fall, so you might try to root them in a pot on the patio if that is the case and plant them in October when it cools down. I've had cuttings of Aloes sitting around for a year not rooting, then suddenly get going, so don't worry if they take their own sweet time. |

My aloe nobilis transplants are doing great! I even have a flower opening! I did not add sand to the dirt. I rarely water. There is new growth in all of the rosettes. Thank you so much for all of your input! You succulent people take your succulents very seriously! I like that! I'm sure I'll be back |

Avoid getting blammed!
Basic controls: arrow keys to move, spacebar to shoot.
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
when you lose it sould look like it got blammed you know what it looks like when something is blammed
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars
It was nice, although it can use some improvements like a restart button and life counter, but anyway, this isn't bad for a first. :]
finally someone whos not a dick. YES its my "first" game, and most likely my last, I'm more of an artist, coding this was like getting raped by 50sea turtles, anally while getting my balls ripped apart by sea lions.
Rated 3 / 5 stars
Rated 2.5 / 5 stars
Not bad for a first flash, let me give you some pointers/critique :)
1st: I like the reference to Newgrounds Sim via the music
2nd: Add a score next time to add meaning to the game, add highscores so people have something to work for
3rd: Add some variety, like new levels and powerups
4th: Add menus and some sort of interface
Otherwise interesting great concept and good first flash :)
ty. and i tried coding high scores mind you, i failed, lol.
Rated 2 / 5 stars
all what wareve writed
for me this game not so good just moving to dodge
thats the concept.

"Soils derived from granite are low in selenium to begin with," says Ramey. "The question is whether acid rain can reduce levels below the threshold for lamb survival. It's a tantalizing hypothesis, but ask me what the answer is next year."
After the exhausting ascent, Carpenter and Ramey spend the final three hours before the sun goes down hunting small herds of sheep and categorizing them as rams, ewes and lambs. They are well above tree line, exposed to slicing winds. The temperature is falling with the sun to near zero. There's is no way the scientists can make it down before dark. The descent will be perilous, but the danger is now inevitable. The point of no return has passed.
Ramey couldn't be happier.
"This is so cool!" he shouts, bounding across a rock field to set up the heavy spotting scope he lugged up the mountain. "Can you see them? Check it out!" He points to a group of thirty bighorns grazing about 300 yards away. "Look at them just hanging out up here, doing their thing! They're so awesome!"
Just beyond the sheep is a lonely metal post marking the boundary of Rocky Mountain National Park. Ramey and Carpenter are forbidden to conduct any research there; without explanation, their research privileges in the park were revoked this fall. "I don't think they wanted real answers," says Ramey.
"We could move that marker and they'd never know," says Carpenter. "They never come up here."
Off in the distance, Ramey waves. He's spotted a second group of bighorns. Carpenter hustles toward him, and the two scan the group for a few minutes, then compare their counts. The last traces of sunlight are fading from light blue to purple, but Ramey isn't finished. He insists on running to the edge of a cliff a half-mile away to peer over and make sure they haven't missed a single bighorn. He drops his pack and takes off at a dead run over snow and rock, staying in radio contact with his assistant while Carpenter skis below tree line and fires up a stove to melt water and heat soup before the trip down.
Carpenter guides Ramey in with headlamp signals and directions over the radio. Once in the trees, Ramey pulls out a satellite phone and leaves a message for his wife that he'll be coming home from the mountains very late, again.
Then it's time to ski down in the dark, with headlamps illuminating a narrow path ten feet ahead. Ramey leads, whooping and laughing. Navigating the trees is like skiing a random slalom course, and he crashes often.
When they reach the base of the mountain, Ramey and Carpenter high-five with ski poles, then sit down for a tasty meal of hot chocolate, ramen and a Power Bar before banging out the six grueling miles back to the trailhead. By the time they reach their cars, they've been out in the wilds for a solid fourteen hours.
"I hurt," says Ramey. "I need a soak in the tub and a big glass of tequila."
He was soaking in that same tub in December 2003 when Carpenter called with news that would transform Ramey, a man most at home with wildlife and the laws of nature, into a leading character in the bizarre and thoroughly human theater of conservation politics.
"Lance called me from the airport," he remembers, "and I was in the bathtub, and I closed my eyes and said, ŒOkay, let me have it.'"
Carpenter was returning from a trip where he'd compared Preble's jumping mouse skulls taken from the archives of the Denver Museum of Nature & Science with the skulls of other, more common and definitely not endangered sub-species of meadow jumping mice stored in museums and universities in Missouri, Nebraska and New Mexico.
Carpenter's news confirmed what Ramey had feared: The skulls matched. This was strong evidence that the Preble's jumping mouse was not a genetically distinct sub-species, as it had been classified since 1954. That initial determination stemmed from the work of a wildlife biologist at the University of Arizona named Philip Krutzsch, who'd based his conclusion on the comparative measurements of only eleven skins and three skulls.
Outside the limited realm of mouse biology, the question of whether the Preble's jumping mouse was truly a distinct sub-species was of little importance until 1998, when environmental organizations successfully petitioned the federal government to list the mouse as threatened under the Endangered Species Act. Since then, the protected status of the mouse has been a powerful weapon for environmental activists battling urban sprawl in Colorado and Wyoming. The mouse's habitat falls mainly in fragile riparian areas along the east side of the Rockies, valuable territory that environmentalists are struggling to preserve -- and that developers, miners and ranchers are eager to exploit.
Since the Preble's jumping mouse was classified as a threatened species, its protected status has impeded -- and in some cases, blocked -- hundreds of millions of dollars in proposed developments on streamside land up and down the Front Range. The federal Fish and Wildlife Service estimates that protecting Preble's habitat has cost real-estate developers in Colorado and Wyoming between $8 million and $18 million every year in consulting fees alone.

Write A Review
Sleek Modern Design Summer from Aspen, CO– Verified Buyer We had such a hard time finding a modern and sleek fan for our remodel. This did the trick perfectly. It functions great, like you would expect a fan and light to function. We also had to order extra pole for our high ceilings which was easy. The only reason I am not giving it 5 star is because the wall panel had all the controls with little buttons for the fan speed and a small round button for the light. It is so much easier to flip a switch for the light then finding a button when it is dark. I am sure an electrician could change it all up, but we didnt want to deal with that expense. |
Fan Monica from Grinnell, IA– Verified Buyer I didn't realize it did not have much light power. It's actually nicer Han what it looks on line and bigger. I should give it 5 stars, I guess it was my fault regarding how much light I get from it, most fans w light have low wats |
Nice streamline look tracy from Pompano beach, FL– Verified Buyer Great sleek look in my modern space, only downside is the shade came broken in one of the two that I purchased and had to buy replacement from manufacturer at 50 and wait 3 months while it was on back order |
Sleek, Modern fan mason from Chula Vista, CA– Verified Buyer Loving this fan so far. I wish that the switch to reverse the fan cycle was easier to access and that there was a better canopy cover where the fan attaches to the ceiling. There is a gap between the canopy and the downrod which gives it an unfinished look. |
Great fan! Erin from Valley Glen, CA– Verified Buyer Great looking fan! Quiet and sophisticated. Tricky to install, but so worth it because it looks fantastic in our room! |
Awesome Paola from New York, NY– Verified Buyer Awesome ceiling fan, it blends right into the ceiling while offering a good amount of light. Nice & quiet. |
Modern, sturdy Chow from Quincy, MA– Verified Buyer This is the 2nd time I bought this fan. Good quality considering price. Modern but can still fit in other furniture well. |
Great for the price point Anna from Macon, GA– Verified Buyer This 3 blade fan is a great modern alternative to other similarly priced fans that all look the same. |

4 Good ButBadboyandy | 24/07/2009 | See all Badboyandy's reviews (1)These are good cds but the silly design that is on the top is very hard to write on or read once wrote on
2 DisappointingDavidApple | 14/08/2009 | See all DavidApple's reviews (1)I have used Memorex before without any problems but these new style CDs have been hit and miss when burning on PC. When you hold them up to the light you can see through the CD, not sure if this makes a difference. Might be a dodgy batch I received.
